So you truncate my sentence, call me an idiot and cite nothing to back your assertion?. Oh-Kay buddy. Debt requires a payment to the holder. Regardless of the interest rate, if the debtor cannot make the payment, the rate of interest is fu

Wow... That's an interesting assertion and frankly, crazy. Care to explain? Fundamentally there is no difference is the debt at .01% or 15%, if one cannot make the payment, they are in trouble. If the holder of the debt cannot collect

And the largest deficit in history... Who is going to pay for the debt fueled growth? Hint: Its not the people benefiting most from the markets... The US economy is as stable as Trump and as factually real as his skin tone...

It was really good to read some self reflection and analysis on why you failed. Most people ignore the actual reasons their ideas/businesses fail and instead blame it on someone, or something... Most of the time, its the fact that ther

Another example of how advertising has perverted language to the point of it having no almost meaning at all... Words used to actually mean something, but no more. some examples: Unlimited, Free, Lifetime, Guaranteed, best, trust, etc.etc.e

I dont trust Facebook and frankly, dont care about end-to-end encryption as there are a myriad of ways to communicate if necessary. But I definitely do not trust Barr or the Justice Department or any AG in any way shape or form as they have

This type of stuff is endemic to all bureaucracies. Managers are too scared to make decisions so they look outside in order to justify any decision. Its maddening as these are the very people who are paid to make these types of decisions, y

The internet commoditizes everything it touches. Its a race to the bottom regardless of the product or service...in the end everything ends up as a commodity.

You'd have 12 people running a few servers, not 100k trying to scour your mind for intent and subconscious clicks... Think POF.com vs Match.com 3 guys and a few servers or 3000 people doing something...

Ad Tech is filled with superfluous middlemen/ middleware who take from the transaction, they do not add. As a long time ad tech executive, I can state that there are maybe 3 companies that actually add value to the chain. And those com

Its always been tribal, but the indoctrination of the uneducated into a army of sorts, is a new phenom. The rise of talk radio and opinion based news/broadcasting has truly amplified this and created the deeply opinionated and woefully

Not at all true. Mediums such as (film, broadcastTV, CableTV, print, radio all use the same tactics to enhance their ratings / viewers / audience. Media is a word to describe the sector - communications, distribution, etc. The so-

This isnt "free speech", this is unfettered capitalism and greed. Free speech is about the Govt limiting what you can and cannot say. This is about how you can pay to manipulate the truth by leveraging a false sense of trust inher

The rise of fake news, disinformation and the subsequent flaring of ignorance and hate are directly related to the currency of the web - ad imps. This is not new but has been exaggerated by the scale and the lack of any human oversight that

That's pure speculation based on your own views and experiences. What you probably noticed, is the visibility into these people's lives that you or others did not have prior to social media and 24/7 connectivity. Universities

At some point in the last 20 years, politics became a sport. IMHO its due to the rise of cable news silos and talk radio charlatans taking on the role once reserved for journalists and experts. By oversimplifying very complex issues into Us
